Novel glass materials made from organic and inorganic components

Research team from Jena and Cambridge develops glass materials with novel combinations of properties

18-Nov-2020 - Linkages between organic and inorganic materials are a common phenomenon in nature, e.g., in the construction of bones and skeletal structures. They often enable combinations of properties that could not be achieved with just one type of material. In technological material development, however, ...

Color-changing artificial 'chameleon skin' powered by nanomachines

23-Aug-2019 - Researchers have developed artificial 'chameleon skin' that changes colour when exposed to light and could be used in applications such as active camouflage and large-scale dynamic displays. The material, developed by researchers from the University of Cambridge, is made of tiny particles of gold ...
